	Social democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social democracy is a political ideology emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism who believed that the transition to a socialist society could be achieved through democratic evolutionary rather than revolutionary means.
		Right-wingers typically argue that social democratic systems are too restrictive on their version of individual rights, particularly the rights of wealthy businessmen, and that individual choice is not as great in systems that provide state-run schools, health care, child care and other services.
		Social democrats usually retort by arguing that their policies are in fact enhancing individual rights, by rising the standard of living of the vast majority of the population and eliminating the threat of extreme poverty.

	Socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In application, however, the de facto meaning of socialism has evolved and branched to a great degree, and though highly politicized, is strongly related to the establishment of an organized working class, created through either revolution or social evolution, with the purpose of building a classless society.
		Several forms of "socialism" are considered by those further to the left to be reformist or revisionist.
		According to Engels, the state was destined to eventually "wither away", as the representative democracy of socialism slowly turned into the direct democracy of communism, and economic life would be re-organised on a basis of freedom and equality.

	socialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The term "socialism" has been (and is) used to refer to a number of related ideologies.

		Those states in question, according to those who contest that Stalinism was Socialism, fulfilled one criteria of the Socialist economy as it was controlled by the state, but not the other criteria, that the state must be in turn Democratically controlled by the population or citizenry.

	Democratic socialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evolutionary democratic socialists and social democrats both typically advocate at least a welfare state, although some social democrats, being influenced by the Third Way, would be willing to consider other means of delivering a social safety net for the poorest in society.
		However, democratic socialism as such only becomes a movement in its own right as a current rejecting both Stalinism (with its distinctive visions of the vanguard party and the dictatorship of the proletariat) and, preferably, the reformism characteristic of yellow socialists and social democrats.
		The New Left legacy of democratic socialism may be clearly seen in the post-Marxist positions of a wide range of intellectuals (often identified with post-modernism or post-structuralism), from Chantal Mouffe in Europe to Cornell West in the United States.

	Socialism - Charles' George Orwell Links
		By the time of the Revolution of 1848 there were a variety of competing "socialisms", ranging from the socialism of Charles Fourier to the self-described "scientific" socialism of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
		Social democracy typically involves state ownership of some corporations (considered strategically important to the people) and participation in ownership of the means of production by workers.
		Another defect of socialism, according to its detractors, is its disregard for the role of private property in creating incentives that foster the sustainable use of resources.

		Socialism was the dominant new economic and political doctrine of the 19th century.
		The notion of socialism with its rigid monism and centralism that vests the powers to choose and to act in one will exclusively does not allow of any compromise or concession; this construction is not amenable to any adjustment or alteration.

		'''Socialism''' is an ideology, that at it's most elemental, is defined by the belief that a society could exist in which individuals control the means of power, and therefore the means of production, and are not subjected to the ownership, control, or power structures of others.
		According to Engels, the state was destined to eventually "wither away", as the representative democracy of socialism slowly turned into the direct democracy of socialism, and economic life would be re-organised on a basis of freedom and equality.
		Most of their objections and critiques seem directed more at a command economycentrally planned economy (not a part of all proposed socialisms), some at socialism and Marxism in general, but because these distinctions are relatively difficult to tease out of their writings, it is probably useful to take them up in a single context.

	Socialism
		The second is that emphasized by the proponents of socialism: a tradition of believing that human beings can indeed cooperate to jointly determine their collective future in ways far superior to that possible under the regime of capitalist exploitation and the markets that have always been associated with it.
		Their analysis of the possibilities of socialism, based upon an analysis of the antagonistic class forces of capitalism, came some years after their earliest socialist forerunners and was developed within the context of a more mature capitalist development.
		The openness to social, cultural and ethnic diversity that was at least implicit in Marx's notion of the transcendence of labor value by an indeterminate free time, has been both ignored and contradicted by the very concept of a specific socialist project as well as by the attempts to implement it.

	Strong Medicine: Toxic Capitalism and the Socialist Cure
		The most basic difference between socialism and capitalism, besides the obvious one of who owns the wealth, is that capitalism is not under anyone’s control, even the capitalists.
		Socialism short-circuits this insanity with a planned economy, in which we only produce as much of any product as is needed.
		We spread the word that socialism is not only a workable alternative, but the only alternative—that capitalism has proved itself incapable of permanent, significant reform and that reformism is the real utopian delusion.

	socialism — Infoplease.com
		In a broader sense, the term socialism is often used loosely to describe economic theories ranging from those that hold that only certain public utilities and natural resources should be owned by the state to those holding that the state should assume responsibility for all economic planning and direction.
		For this reason socialism as a doctrine is ill defined, although its main purpose, the establishment of cooperation in place of competition remains fixed.

		The social ideal of etatism is a special kind of socialism, such as state socialism or, under certain conditions, military or religious socialism.
		The fact that man’s social life is subject to certain conditions, to regularity like that of nature, is a concept that is alien to an etatist.

		Socialism''' is a concept and a collection of a party-based political movements that has evolved and branched over time.
		Elie Halevy claims that the term "socialism" was coined independently by two groups advocating different ways of organizing society and economics: the Claude Henri de Rouvroy, Comte de Saint-SimonSaint-Simonians, and most likely Pierre Leroux, in the years 1831-183333, and the followers of Robert Owen, around 1835.
		Many non-socialists use the expression "socialist economy" (or "socialization" of a sector of the economy) almost exclusively to refer to centralized control under government aegis: for example, consider the use of the term "publicly funded medicinesocialized medicine" in the US by opponents of publicly funded medicinesingle-payer health care/.

	Tony Cliff: Factory branches (1973)
		The factory branch will be responsible for carrying the party’s policy to the workers in the factory, on all current questions, as well as on the party’s long term programme, thus ensuring the unity in action of its immediate and final aims.
		The factory branch should be the driving force in raising the class consciousness of the workers round it, developing their political education, their organisation, their initiative, enthusiasm and fighting ability, so that from the factory they are drawn into the struggle of the working class as a whole.
		In a territorial branch, because of the multiplicity of jobs to do, the failure of one comrade or one activity will have a less damaging effect than a similar failure in a factory branch, whose cohesion is potentially much greater, but where the different activities are much more intimately integrated.

		Under Socialism the land, the means of production and transport are no longer privately owned: they belong to all the people.
		Under Socialism no one can be disinherited; no one can lose the right to a share or the common possession.

		Democratic socialism is a political movement propagating the ideals of socialism within the framework of a parliamentary democracy.
		It should be noted, however, that many of those who describe themselves as "socialists" often argue that socialism necessarily implies democracy, thus making "democratic socialism" a redundant term.
		The fact that one specific movement is called Democratic Socialism does not mean that other branches of socialism must be any less democratic.

		Also, Den Uyl and Rasmussen, in their recent book Liberty and Nature, defend natural rights to liberty but hold that these rights apply only in circumstances in which social cooperation is possible (mass starvation not being such a circumstance).
		I agree with Friedman that the postmodern rejection of objectivity represents an unpromising path to liberty; but his own “postlibertarian” rejection of non-utilitarian morality is equally unpromising.
		A morality that ignores practical consequences looks like blind dogmatism — but a practicality that ignores moral questions of individual sovereignty looks like unprincipled expediency — and is as likely as the former to “rob minimal statism of any possibility of success.” Neither represents a standard to which the wise and just can repair.
